The engine revs shouldn't rise anyway, if anything they should drop as the load from the compressor kicks in. Have you read the whole of that thread? There are loads on here about aircon - I havent got time to search them out right now but have a look yourself.

I would have a 'word' with your garage if they have charged you and it still doesn't work. Did they tell you how much gas was in the system before the recharged it?

Its worth taking it to a local aircon specialist I would think, there loads in yellow pages so just pick one if you don't have any recommendations. I paid £58 to mine regassed btw.

Check if you have voltage at the aircon pump when you switch the aircon on. You chould have at least 12v. If you do and the pump is not working the clutch unit is faulty. If you dont have 12v the problem is further up the line.

The problem may be with the pressure switch mounted on the bulkhead or with the control unit below the radio. Any case check the continuity of the pump power feed.

As a test for the pump with a direct 12v feed for a few seconds if it engages and the lines feel cold the pump should be ok.
